AH!..watching those dance numbers larger than life would probably have made my heart stop.<br /><br />I would have to put my two cents down for Ginger being her skinniest in Stage Door (1937). <br />I watched a documentary that said that the director La Cava improvised scenes and made the script up as they went along...I'd have been my skinniest too!Tap2323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83464697492715241.post-11284288409874108812009-08-19T20:41:52.491-07:002009-08-19T20:41:52.491-07:00Oh, I'm so envious... but glad you were there ...Oh, I'm so envious... but glad you were there to enjoy it for all the Ginger fans who couldn't be.<br /><br />As for Ginger at her skinniest, I haven't really thought about it before, but I would think that she was tiniest in Shall We Dance. In some of those scenes she looks almost straight - from a side view. It may have just been the way that Irene dressed her, but she's really small!beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677460347678185488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83464697492715241.post-47606202108672191092009-08-18T21:10:13.089-07:002009-08-18T21:10:13.089-07:00I believe the autograph was on Shall We Dance. It ...I believe the autograph was on Shall We Dance. It was kind of small and it took me a while to notice it...<br /><br />In the past they have had two Fred and Ginger marathons. One was a few summers ago where $20 gets you a pass to see all ten films. And the first one way back in 1987 actually was such a big hit that it prompted the restoration of the theater! :D <br />You're right about the fact that they show The Major and the Minor and Roxie Hart, but I have also seen Monkey Business there too. And lets not forget Gold Diggers and 42nd Street, but its been a while since they played those.Alicianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83464697492715241.post-87192399635377816432009-08-18T18:00:34.116-07:002009-08-18T18:00:34.116-07:00@ jwalker: It was really awesome!!! I hope one da...@ jwalker: It was really awesome!!! I hope one day the theatre will do a Ginger marathon! I know they show The Major and The Minor there, and they show a double feature with Chicago (1927) and Roxie Hart. I want to catch both of those.<br /><br />@ Alicia: It was so good! I'm so jealous you can go every weekend! Yeah I saw the poster room (and decided I want one for my dorm) but I didn't see Fred's signature! Which one is it on?<br /><br />@ Jennifer: Thanks! And I will check out your blog now.<br /><br />@ sneakysnoo11: It's called the Stanford Theatre in Northern California. The theatre itself is gorgeous.<br /><br />LaurenLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920368438562815477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83464697492715241.post-50259909033523837082009-08-17T11:09:50.929-07:002009-08-17T11:09:50.929-07:00wow.... it sounds AMAZING...

You're so lucky! I must say I'm a bit jealous, especially after reading your description of Never Gonna Dance on the big screen. ;)<br />It's so great watching a classic movie surrounded by other classic film fans in the theatre. That just makes it that much more fun and enjoyable.<br />Glad to hear you had such a great time! :)<br /><br />JenJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405313196839037377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83464697492715241.post-4475772176654892182009-08-16T20:37:26.794-07:002009-08-16T20:37:26.794-07:00I'm glad you had a good time visiting our humb...I'm glad you had a good time visiting our humble little theater. lol ;) <br /><br />I understand exactly what you mean about audience reactions and how it makes the films so much more enjoyable. Just being in a room with a bunch of classic film fans is always a great experience. I just love overhearing other people's comments.<br /><br />Did you ever make it into the poster room the have there? They have all 10 Fred and Ginger posters, and one of them even has Fred's autograph on it!! :D They also have annotated scripts and lobby cards and stuff. And I always love the organ player, too. I always try to go to the Fred and Ginger movies because he plays music from their films during intermission. And its great to watch silent films there because they have the organ accompaniment.Alicianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83464697492715241.post-75304310935382315872009-08-16T20:12:18.986-07:002009-08-16T20:12:18.986-07:00Wow...

ANY movie looks better on the BIG silver screen, in a 'classical' theater! <br />So, how intense was watching TWO of the best Ginger pix of all time? That is just perfect!!! And to be there with so many 'Gingerologists'...wow.<br />Glad you had such a great experience! <br /><br />I really need to send a 'request' in or whatever to our local 'classical' theatre to show ANYTHING Ginger and/or Ginger/Fred... they show a lot of great 'classic' (or 'classical', according to my little girl) movies, but...VKMfanHueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17360524951726605370noreply@blogger.com
